So, I recently debuted these organic lotion bars at the SoCal Fiber Fair, which was FULL of knitters and crocheters and lots of yummy yarn and accessories.  It was a two day event, and there were 100s of people there getting their craft on at any given time. Folks walked by and tried the sample I had sitting out. By the 2nd day, people who were actively crafting streamed over a person at a time to rub their hands on the sample bar. What they discovered is that lotion out of a bottle seems to only last for a short time, and their skin kept catching on the yarn. But once they used these lovely handmade lotion bars, they could craft so smoothly and easily, so much so that the crafters who'd tried it were sending other crafters over to try the bar. After that, these bars went like hotcakes!!

They make GREAT STOCKING STUFFERS!!

They are handmade in small batches in my kitchen with four simple ingredients: coconut oil, African shea butter, beeswax, and essential oils. I chose the finest ingredients to produce the best product. I hope you enjoy them as much as everyone does!

(Psst, the label is misprinted to say 8 oz, but they're actually between 2-3 oz.)

Scents currently available:

Lavender - floral
Sandalwood - earthy, musk
Oud - light earthy, floral, musk
Rosemary - light, easy floral
Poutchouli - heavy earthy, musk
Unscented - natural product scent (shea butter has a natural light earthy scent)

Each bar comes in its own tin for easy carry.

Memorial or Custom

When I first started this journey I asked myself how could I make things that help the planet AND are practical? I wanted my makes to be something that folks would likely use often. My catalog has grown over the years and today all of my patterns are functional and most completed pieces are at least 50% upcycled.

I've learned a lot on this journey but what has surprised me most are the memorial pieces. I've done hundreds and every. single. one. is different and has a different emotional attachment from both the buyer AND me, the maker. The more information I get on the front end, the more emotion goes into the piece as it's being made. The responses are always positive; a few years ago a woman sent me a video of her opening her package and crying... I've received many vids since.

This venture has turned into the most satisfying and heartfelt journey that has changed my place in the world. I wouldn't trade it for a million bucks.

Upcycled Fabric Always FIRST

Everything you see in my shop, while it may have a segment of some new trendy fabric, the upcycled fabric will ALWAYS be face forward. On 2-sided bags and such you'll see the upcycled side as the front image. If you want to see more, you'll have to click on in. Enjoy! And thank you for appreciating upcycling and conserving.

Upcycled with Care

Hey there - I'm Lisa. Conservation, urban homesteading and upcycling have always been my guiding force.  

Every day I do my part to conserve, reduce, reuse, and sustain for the good of our planet because I feel the only way things will change is for us each to do our part. 

I have two guidestars: 

1) use old/discarded materials as much as possible and 

2) the new items must be useful

Everything you find here is individually handcrafted, most often one-of-a-kind, all contain elements of former textiles, and all are useful.
